ETQ Commenting Guidelines

We encourage constructive, respectful dialogue. To keep discussions professional and inclusive, please follow these rules:

1. Maintain Professional Conduct

  • Comments should reflect the standards expected in professional and therapeutic communities. Treat others with courtesy and integrity.

2. Keep It Civil

  • Debate ideas, not individuals. Aggressive, hostile, or inflammatory language will not be tolerated.

3. Read Before You Respond

  • Engage with the full article before commenting. Avoid reacting to headlines alone or repeating questions already answered in the text.

4. Stay Relevant

  • Keep comments focused on the article topic. Off-topic discussions or attempts to revive old arguments will be removed.

5. No Personal Attacks or False Claims

  • Critique viewpoints, not people. Do not post defamatory statements or unverified allegations.

6. Follow the Law

  • Avoid content that could breach legal standards, including libel or contempt of court.

7. Respect All Communities

  • Discriminatory or hateful remarks based on ethnicity, language, religion, gender, or sexuality are strictly prohibited.

8. No Spam or Multiple Accounts

  • Repeated posts, impersonation, or using multiple accounts will result in bans.

9. No Advertising

  • Promotional content, including events or products, is not allowed in comments.

10. Accept Moderation

  • Moderator decisions are final. If you have concerns, contact us privately rather than posting complaints.
